Though it's baseball and
softball season now, Quincy
and Portola's high schools
opted to play using a different
type of ball; a dodgeball. Both
schools held fundraisers to
benefit their student bodies,
and both tournaments were
well attended•
Quincy's tournament took
place last Thursday, March
27. Seven teams participated,
mainly made up of different
members of the community•

Patrol, Forest Service, Quincy
Volunteer Fire Department,
Quincy varsity baseball team,
members of Plumas Christian
School, Mike Curran
Trucking and the Quincy
High School History Team all
competed to be the top dog of
the tournament.
Quincy High School's
varsity baseball team came
out as the victor, not losing a
single game. The History
Team was runner up.
In addition to the set games
to determine the champion,
all teams were asked if there
was any team in specific they
wanted to challenge. The
Quincy Volunteer Fire
Department challenged the
local CHP, and won in a close
match.
Portola held its dodgeball
tournament first, on March 14.
Students from the high school
made up five of the teams that
competed. Sixth-graders from
the elementary school formed
two teams, and teachers from
Portola High School formed
the eighth team that competed.
" The tournament was
double-elimination style and
the teachers won the whole
shebang undefeated. In total
the tournament raised $900
to benefit the seventh and
eighth grade classes.
BASEBALL, from page 1C
and Colusa were named
co-champions.
The recent downpour also
affected the Trojans' home
field. According to Kelsch,
when the team returned
home, they found ducks
swimming in center field•
In other news involving
Plumas County's high
school baseball teams,
Portola turned around to
dominate its second game of
the Biggs tournament,
against Williams. Chester
played one game last week,
losing to University Prep.
Greenville was supposed to
host Loyalton on March 27,
but the game was canceled
due to weather.
Portola 20, Williams 2
Later in the afternoon,
after the lopsided loss to
Quincy, the Tigers came
back to wallop Williams.
Though the win was
impressive, juxtaposed with
the loss against Quincy, it
ended up frustrating Portola
coach Tim Brubaker.
"My guys have to learn to
compete all of the time, not
just some of the time," said
Brubaker. "We have a
young team that still has a
lot to learn. Against Quincy,
we didn't compete from the
first pitch thrown. Then
against Williams, we won
the game early•"
Williams struck first
blood with one run in the
top of the first. Portola came
back with five runs in the
first, four in the second,
nine in the third and one in
the fourth. Portola's batters
finally got into their zones.
Will Marquette led the '
Tigers at bat, and even hit
a grand slam during the
game. Traven Carnes
pitched the whole game for
Portola, striking out four
batters and giving up only
three hits with two runs.
University Prep 3,
Chester 2
Chester traveled to
University Prep on March
27 for its only game of the
week. The wind was blowing
pretty hard, which made for
some difficult playing
conditions.
Both teams had trouble
at bat, but University Prep
squeaked out one more
run than Chester to win
the game. The Volcanoes
scored their only two runs
in the sixth inning.
University Prep's pitcher
was spot-on, and struck
out 11 Chester batters. In
contrast, Chester only
struck out five batters
from University Prep.
"(We're) just not coming
through with big hits,"
commented Chester
coach Terry Hernandez."
(We) missed a pop-up that
scored one too. Good
game."
FISHING, from page lC
some nice fish off the
causeway just outside of
Chester. I have not heard
any reports, but I would
except that fly anglers are
finding some nice browns in
the coves along the west
shore•
Lake Davis
Lake Davis has been
producing some excellent
action for fly anglers.
Fishing pheasant tail, hares
ear or prince nymphs under
an indicator has been the
most productive technique.
The east shore is best,
especially when the sun is off
the water. When the sun is
on the water there are a few
blood midges showing• Fish
are plump for spring and
averaging 17 to 22 inches
long.
Bucks Lake
Spring fishing can be great
at Bucks Lake. Bucks has a
tremendous number of fish.
All summer long anglers
catch kokanee salmon, brook
trout and rainbows. :
There are also some huge
browns and monster lake
trout (Mackinaw) in Bucks
Lake. Early spring is when
the big boys come up into
shallow water.
The hungry bruisers
cruise the lake shore in
search of smaller fish. Bank
anglers can get into some
beautiful fish this time of
year, but the fish are on the
move so it's the boat anglers
who have the best chance of
hooking into some of Bucks'
biggest fish.
Trolling Rapalas and other
baitfish imitations near
shore is the most productive.
Fast-action lures like Speedy
Shiners work great and
allow you to troll a little fast
and cover more water.
The lake level is lower
than I have ever seen it this
time of year. Launching a
boat is bestdone with a
four-wheel drive vehicle. The
road is not plowed past
Haskins, but there were
some tracks in the snow. My
truck is two-wheel drive so I
did not explore how far those
tracks went.
Frenchman Lake
Frenchmari 6ntinu s to
• i ~ f!;
fish well. Ban~ anglers are
drifting worms suspended off
the bottom or using
PowerBait. Fish are
averaging 14 to 16 inches.
Pressure is very light.
Lower Feather River
(Oroville area)
The spring steelhead
fishing is very good with
best reports coming from
the low flow section
(Highway 70 bridge to
outlet). Swinging pond smelt
patterns, egg patterns and
bright green caddis pupae
are all catching fish.
Blue-winged olive nymphs
are hot flies midday on
overcast and rainy days.
North Fork Feather
(above Lake Oroville)
Fishing is open from
the Cresta Powerhouse
to downstream to Lake
Oroville. The water is cold
but the fish are active for
a couple hours during the
warmest part of the day.
The best method is
suspending midges and
blue-winged olive mayfly
nymphs under a small
indicator. The col l water
has the fish holding in the
tailouts. Fishing pressure
is very light.
